EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED – HAWK NELSON


VERSE 1:
           
I walk the line 
               
Leave it all behind 
              
I've been waiting forever 
                
Lets go back in time
                        
When I could read your mind 
                   
Still I've been waiting 


BRIDGE:
                     
It took the seasons going by 
                    
To know its not my fault 


CHORUS:
                                  
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
                                    
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                
Tried to be everything but you 




VERSE 2:
            
Its been so long 
                    
Since you've been home 
           
I used to wait up forever 
               
I used to say a prayer 
                   
Wishing you were there 
               
And I'm still waiting 




            
You told me once 
             
You'd show up 
        
But I fell for that 
              
Before I fell to pieces 
           
Then I woke up 

To no one, 
          
Just a picture of Jesus 
        
And a house left in pieces 



BRIDGE:
                    
It took the seasons going by 
                    
To know its not my fault 


CHORUS:
                                  
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                 
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
                                   
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                  
Tried to be everything but you 


BREAK:
 
I wanted you 

I need you 
                      
I want to believe you 

I wanted you 

I need you 
           
I want to believe you 





HALF CHORUS:(softer strumming)
                                  
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                
tried to be everything but you 


CHORUS:(back to regular strumming)
                                  
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                 
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
                                    
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                
Tried to be everything but you


CHORUS:
                                  
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                 
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
                                    
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                
Tried to be everything but you
